Let's divide 281558 by 47
We want to divide 281558 by 47.

Advancing to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 2, then carry on: 28 / 47

Going ahead to step 2:
47 can be fit into 28 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 28, then repeat: 281 / 47

Advancing to step 3:
47 can be fit into 281 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 46.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 235 from 281 to get 46.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 46, then repeat: 465 / 47

Going ahead to step 4:
465 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 42.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 59.0
Deduct 423 from 465 and we're left with 42.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 42 and repeat the process: 425 / 47

Advancing to step 5:
425 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 2.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 599.0
Deduct 423 from 425 and we're left with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 47

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 28 by 47, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5990.0
Subtracting 0 from 28 leaves us with 28.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
The number 47 fits into 280 5 times, leaving a remainder of 45.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5990.5
Deduct 235 from 280 and we're left with 45.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
450 divided by 47 is 9 with a remainder of 27.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5990.59
Deduct 423 from 450 and we're left with 27.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 270, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 270 by 47, we get 5 with a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 5990.595
Subtract 235 from 270 to get 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
When dividing 350 by 47, we get 7 with a remainder of 21.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 5990.5957
Subtracting 329 from 350 leaves us with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 11:
If we divide 210 by 47, we get 4 and a remainder of 22.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5990.59574
Deduct 188 from 210 and we're left with 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
47 goes into 220 4 times with a remainder of 32.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 5990.595744
Subtracting 188 from 220 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 5990.595744 and a remainder of 3.2e-06.
